The irony is delicious
I found this delicious gem 'bout Live Earth on the New Yorker's Web site:
"The promoters, who inclue Al Gore, want this seven-continent, twenty-four hour gathering to 'trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis,' according to the event's Web site, www.liveearth.org. ... At the very least, expect the show to trigger a substantial traffic jam, situated as it is in a stadium with limited mass-transit options." [Emphasis mine]
Isn't it ironic that Al "Biggun" Gore, who once identified the internal combustion engine as mankind's most dubious achievement, seemingly has no problem with thousands of people driving to the Live Earth concert at the Meadowlands? It reminds me of the officer in Vietnam who said his soldiers had to destroy a village in order to save it.
